HST - heavy feeding - defoliation this week. Should of been done last week *shameface* now some of them are very top heavy and are starting to bend, this is also due to having my clones way to long to begin with. They should have been a lot shorter. 😤 Very happy they have finally picked up from such a bad start in the beginning. loving how short and bushy they are. 😃 Next week will be changing to Flower Cycle 👽

DAY 62 1 day early of start of new week, just waiting for some more ambers, nearly ready🎉 Still running RO only, 40 PPM. Still keeping it pH’d, it likes to drop slowly still. However, I don’t get why pH is important during flush tho. Not like I need to keep nutrients available for plant to suck up... 🤷‍♂️ I’ve been considering drilling some holes into the base of the main stem as to simulate the stalk-splitting technique. Maybe it’ll help speed things up... I’ll check trichs again tonight when lights kick on and make an executive decision and post updated pictures if it’s a go ahead. Day 63 I split me some stalks! Uploaded a video of the procedure. Day 64 This phenotype is developing purple leaves? Photos uploaded. Day 65 Harvesting... Day 66 More Harvesting... Day 67 Taking clones, moving veg plants to bloom tent. This grow is drying.

While we're not huge on autoflower plants, this one turned out really nice, not a huge yield, maybe just over an Oz dry but her bag appeal can't be beat.. we may actually grow this strain again but probably outdoors, our autos always seem to preform better in the garden. Thanks for reading and happy growing everyone

I’ ve been really really excited in growing this 🍊. I really loved it to do ti in grow diaries. Community helped me and I hope I’ll be doing always better. I think next time I’ll do a foto to play a little bit more with structure of the plant. Buds smells like orange and cotton, chocolate pinus. Can’t wait to try it. I’ll update in some days when I’ll have some nice buds a also le to sm oke🕹️ Thanks to all the people the followed me and that helped me with important suggestions

The pheno hunt winner is finally down! 🌱✂️🦍🍪 The buds turned out beautiful and extremely dense, with that proper Cali look – rock-hard buds all around. The mid-buds from the second video were trimmed a little less, but they’re still super dense and looking beautiful. Very happy with how this pheno turned out! 👌

Dropped these babies in water on Friday around 10AM. By Sunday, 4 out of 5 seeds had little taproots, so all 5 went into solo cups half filled with pre-washed Canna Coco. I buffered that coco with gypsum + dolomite lime prior to using it and mixed 2 tsp of Gaia Green AP to the gallon of it that I used on these seedlings.

The cannabis strain Grape Guava can be a purple strain, depending on its specific phenotype and genetic makeup. While not all phenotypes of Grape Guava are purple, some variations, such as the Zatix Grape Guava, are noted for their striking purple appearance due to the genetic expression of anthocyanin pigments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKdVmdoKJ5k In a garden of green, Grape Guava gleams, With its fruity aroma, enchanting dreams. Clusters of grapes, guava's sweetness ignite, A strain so divine, in purple and white. Euphoria whispers, a lush fruity haze, Grape Guava's embrace, a tranquil daze. Off and away.@1400ppm. The increased CO2 allows plants to thrive at higher temperatures, which in turn necessitates higher humidity to maintain the ideal VPD for healthy growth and transpiration. 80F -5F = 75F LST with 70% RH = 0.72 kPa. Higher temperatures and humidity promote rapid growth, nutrient uptake, and photosynthesis while maintaining a lower stress level. Temperature influences the rate of enzymatic reactions involved in aerobic respiration. Enzymes, such as those involved in glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain, work most efficiently at an optimal temperature range. In low temperatures, enzymatic activity will slow down, thus reducing the rate of aerobic respiration. In high temperatures, enzymes can become denatured, thus impairing their function and stopping the process of aerobic respiration. Glucose is the primary fuel for aerobic respiration. The rate of aerobic respiration increases with the availability of glucose, as it is the starting point for glycolysis. If glucose levels are low, cells may rely on alternative energy sources such as fatty acids or amino acids , but these processes may yield less ATP or be less efficient. To determine this effect, carbon dioxide volume was measured (as carbon dioxide is an output of aerobic respiration) 18/6 with the 6 being IR. The near infrared (IR-a) borders around 700nm up to 1400nm @ photon par flux density of 1.8 instead of darkness, keeping temps overnight a neat 77F-80F. Think of my tent as a lung. What goes in must come out. When the rate of air going out exceeds the amount of air coming in, it creates a negative pressure. Tent concaves (bends in). If set up correctly, your RH will begin to drop slowly to the desired level you set, and the extraction turns off when it reaches desired% RH. The plant, as it performs cellular respiration, will always be releasing more water into the air, so the RH% of the tent overnight will always increase, so long as oxidative phosphorylation is occurring. As soon as the RH% creeps back up to 55%, the extraction turns back on, over and over. This creates a strong pressure differential which will work wonders on your grow. Replicating high and low-pressure fronts in nature. Critical for oxygen diffusion at the critical time of peak cellular respiratory function.. Moisture will not transfer from a saturated atmosphere to another if that air is already at or above its saturation point, meaning the air can't hold any more water vapor. Once I understood that water is produced as a by product during cellular respiration, specifically at the very end of the electron transport chain (ETC) where electrons are finally transferred to molecular oxygen, the higher the RH of the air, the more resistance there is for more moisture to be added to that environment, and effects the ease with which it does so. But none of that water comes from the pot; it's pulled from the air. If you run high daytime RH, your medium/pot is 100% reliant on transpirational root pull to move water. ZERO evaporation happens across the atmosphere if the tent air has high RH%, the medium cannot release its water through evaporation. Once a canopy develops, light no longer slowly wicks and evaporates from the topsoil. The Soil-Plant-Atmosphere Continuum (SPAC) describes the continuous pathway and process of water movement, driven by a gradient in water potential, from the soil, through the plant's roots, stem, and leaves, and finally evaporating into the atmosphere through transpiration. There is evaporation, there is transpiration, and then there is evapotranspiration; Evapotranspiration (ET) is the combined total of two processes: evaporation (water lost directly from soil and surface water into the atmosphere) and transpiration (water released from plants to the atmosphere through their leaves). Evapotranspiration represents the total amount of water that moves from the medium into the air. There is no such thing as a medium with too much water, only a medium that retains too much for too long. The water must always flow efficiently from one atmosphere(Medium) to another(Air) in a timely manner. Moisture is a critical factor for bacterial growth and decay. Dictating how long it's allowed to sit in any one location for any given period is a key preferred control. To ensure a net reduction in a bacterial population, the rate of removal (ET) must exceed the rate of bacterial growth (decay rate), which is often modeled as a growth rate for the specific bacterium under the given conditions. By optimizing daytime VPD, we also optimize conditions for bacterial growth to explode exponentially above 77°F.. If water is allowed to sit in a medium without an escape within a timeframe, nothing good will happen. IF High RH is maintained overnight as well as during the day, placing 100% of water movement at the behest of daytime transpiration, roots can only pull where they can reach, and if soil is compressed above a certain point, moisture will become trapped in a medium with no way of moving day or night. This will begin the countdown for decay to take hold. When water stagnates in a medium, it loses oxygen, creating anaerobic conditions that foster the growth of harmful microorganisms like bacteria and fungi, which can produce toxins and disease vectors. Thigmomorphogenesis, the process by which plants respond to mechanical stimuli like touch by altering their growth and development, results in significant morphological changes to improve survival against mechanical perturbations. This complex response involves sensing touch and initiating physiological and genetic responses, leading to changes in form and structure over days or weeks. The process is triggered by physical forces such as wind, rain, or touch. Plants adapt to these stimuli by changing their shape and structure, which may include slower growth, thickened stems, or altered leaf development. Plants possess sophisticated mechanisms to detect even subtle mechanical stimuli and initiate responses. A variety of molecules, including calcium ions, jasmonates, ethylene, and nitric oxide, are involved in signaling these mechanical inputs. Touch can induce the expression of genes that encode proteins for calcium sensing, cell wall modification, and defense mechanisms. A plant exposed to constant wind may become shorter and sturdier. A plant that is touched frequently might grow more slowly to conserve energy and develop thicker cell walls. These changes increase a plant's resilience and ability to survive in harsh environments. Let's get Thiggy with it.

🌸 Pink Rosay Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 5 (Early Flower) 🌱 An Auto That Refused to Waste a Single Day Some plants take their time deciding what they want to become. Pink Rosay had other plans. From the very beginning, she grew with purpose, and this week she truly showed just how quickly an autoflower can move when everything comes together. Running under my 12/12 From Seed experiment, she seems to have compressed multiple stages of development into a single week. Stretch. Pre-flower. Flower initiation. Bud formation. It almost feels like she completed an entire chapter of her life in just a few days. At only Week 5, she’s already carrying herself like a plant several weeks further into bloom, and watching that transformation has been nothing short of incredible. ⸻ 🌸 Week 5 – Full Speed Into Flower There is no questioning where this plant is heading now. Flowering has completely taken over. Every branch has erupted with fresh clusters of brilliant white pistils, and the main stem is already beginning to stack into what promises to become an impressive central cola. Instead of isolated flowering sites, the entire canopy now feels connected, with every branch contributing to the final structure. This is no longer simply a plant preparing to flower. She’s fully committed. And she’s doing it at remarkable speed. ⸻ 🌿 Structure & Training Pink Rosay has developed a wonderfully balanced architecture. Standing 90 cm tall, she combines a strong central leader with evenly distributed secondary branches that have responded beautifully to gentle Low Stress Training. Nothing about her feels forced. The branches naturally reached toward the light, creating an open canopy with excellent airflow and light penetration throughout the plant. The spacing between internodes is ideal, giving every future cola enough room to develop without competing for space. She has that elegant look where every branch seems to know exactly where it belongs. ⸻ 🌼 Flower Development This is probably my favorite part of this week’s update. The flowers are forming incredibly fast. Every day seems to bring noticeably larger clusters of pistils, and what were tiny flower sites only a few days ago are already beginning to resemble proper buds. The main cola is taking shape beautifully, while the side branches are keeping pace surprisingly well. There is already a sense of rhythm across the canopy. One top after another. One flower after another. It’s becoming obvious that Pink Rosay intends to make every branch count. ⸻ 🍃 Plant Health Health remains outstanding from top to bottom. The foliage carries a rich, healthy green color with excellent leaf posture, while the stems continue thickening enough to support what is likely to become a substantial amount of flower weight later on. New growth remains vigorous, leaf spacing is clean, and there are no signs of stress despite the rapid pace of development. For a plant progressing this quickly, maintaining this level of balance is something I’m genuinely happy to see. Sometimes fast growth comes with compromises. This one simply looks comfortable. ⸻ 💧 Hand Watering & Nutrition Like her Frosted Guava sister, Pink Rosay isn’t connected to the AutoPot system. She has been hand-watered throughout the grow, allowing me to stay closely connected with her daily development while providing exactly the nutrition she needs. Current feeding: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Terra Bloom — 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L Maintaining: * EC: 1.88 mS/cm * pH: 6.05 The transition into bloom has been exceptionally smooth, and she’s responding beautifully to the current feeding schedule. The balance between vegetative support and flowering nutrition seems to be right where she wants it. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Stable environmental conditions continue allowing the genetics to express themselves without unnecessary stress. Current conditions: * Day temperature: 31.1°C * Night temperature: 25°C * Relative humidity: 72% * Solution temperature: 21°C * Root zone temperature: 21°C * CO₂: approximately 529 ppm Despite the warm summer temperatures, the room remains remarkably consistent, giving every plant the opportunity to perform at its best. Consistency really is one of the most underrated nutrients in any grow room. ⸻ 👀 Looking Ahead If Pink Rosay continues at this pace, the coming weeks are going to be incredibly exciting. The stretch is beginning to settle, meaning more of her energy will soon shift into flower production and bud density. The framework is already built. Now it’s time to start filling it. I’m especially curious to see how these early flower clusters evolve because she’s showing all the signs of becoming a heavy producer with excellent flower distribution from top to bottom. This feels like one of those plants that surprises you every single week. ⸻ 🙏 Final Thoughts Pink Rosay has quickly become one of the standout plants inside this project. Not because she’s the biggest. Not because she’s the tallest. But because of the incredible pace at which she’s developing while never sacrificing her overall health or structure. Watching her transition from vigorous vegetative growth into full flowering almost overnight has been one of the highlights of this grow so far. It’s another reminder that every seed carries its own personality, and sometimes that personality is simply to move forward without ever looking back. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for these fantastic genetics, Plagron for providing the nutrition that keeps these plants thriving, Future of Grow for the outstanding lighting, TrolMaster for maintaining such a stable environment, and to everyone following this journey here on GrowDiaries. Your support, encouragement, questions, and shared passion for growing continue to make this adventure even more rewarding. The flowers have arrived. Now the real magic begins. Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Everything is going well at the beginning of the third week. All the main colas are growing at about the same pace. As for the two plants at the front, they’re doing well too, just a little more slowly. I’ve started feeding them, and by the end of this week or sometime next week I’ll begin using Monster PK at a very light dose. The light is now at 100%, so we’ll need to be careful not to keep it too close to avoid the risk of light stress or overexposure. 12/12 switches : 12/06/2026 Back: Frosted Grape Front left: Purple Cookie Front right: Stick Berry Watering remains moderate: ~600 mL for the larger plants and ~500mL for the smaller ones, with 1 L being the maximum applied so far.

Last day of lights exposure. The buds will now go into a 48 hours of darkness. Last watering was done 2 days prior. The plants will use the last bit of energy to produce more resine . Trichomes are 10% amber .

Officially 8 weeks today....... she is ready her trichomes are cloudy some milky only saw 1 or 2 amber trichomes I am flushing her until Sunday and will cut her down. I’m using a 5 gal DWC so from my understanding a 7 day flush is way more than needed. See you guys in a few weeks with the final results.

This strain is really easy to grow and reeks of grapefruit and skunk! I can’t wait to taste this strain! The grow stayed pretty short and bushy through the grow. Took well to nutrients and has a pretty decent yield...I will update dry weight and cure in a few weeks Update: Weighed in at 52g I was almost getting a headache from the smell while trimming! It has a strong sweet smell but the skunk is over load! The buds are covered in thricomes...can’t wait to smoke and give another update!
